Establishment of boundaries and determination of highly valuable grape-suitable agricultural land areas using modern information technologies

Abstract

The necessity of clarifying the boundaries of the most valuable productive agricultural lands represented as grape-suitable land is justified in connection with the reduction of the area of vineyards, their withdrawal from agricultural turnover. It was established that from 1982 to 2022 in the resort-city Anapa, the area of cultivated vineyards decreased by 10968 hectares or 76%. A method of clarifying the boundaries and determining the areas of grape-growing land using satellite images and data from the “Public Cadastral Map” service is proposed. The method established in 2007 provides the exclusion of forest strips, roads, outbuildings, swamps, plots from industrial land and were transferred for expansion of settlements and the assessment of obtained areas were made by ownership forms and by types of permitted use. The proposals were tested on the example of the Agricultural Production Cooperative named after Lenin of the resort-city Anapa, it was found that in addition, 1920 hectares of vineyards can be laid in this agricultural organization.
